Last week @laken77 officially hit 10k snaps!!! So I dug deeper. Get this. - only 13 active players have played more offensive snaps (aka most teams don’t have ANYONE as experienced) - of the 2015 class, NO ONE on offense or defense has played more snaps My #ProBowlVote always

Limiting access to CMS data is not just an academic concern. It will affect anyone enrolled in Medicare/Medicaid as well as the taxpayers who fund these programs. Read more in my @statnews piece below and please retweet to spread the word. We have work to do!

Learn more about our team's work developing and deploying predictive models that generate risk scores for almost 2 million Marylanders to support enhanced primary care! @morghend, Fei Han, @HilltopInstitut

Today, @CMSGov released a blog on Medicaid’s #HealthEquity data briefs detailing characteristics of enrollees in #Medicaid & #CHIP. Read about our commitment to data-driven health policy & identifying disparities in access, quality of care, & outcomes. cms.gov/blog/cms-relea…

Visit Hilltop at Booth 307 and see our presentations at the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting in Seattle.

We’ve received @RWJF funding for our study looking at the impact of the MD Medicaid Doula Program on affordability of doula care & perinatal experiences/ outcomes for Black birthing parents/infants! @JGalarragaMD @DR_KMSutton @HilltopInstitut Read more: academyhealth.org/node/21369

Friends with no previous interest in AI ethics have been asking me about it recently, so I want to share several underlying concepts about AI & power that are important to understand. 🧵 1/

Household instability during childhood is a known risk factor for subsequent mental health problems, but what are its neurodevelopmental correlates? From @FelHardi @LeighGoetschius & @colterm @UM_PSC et al @um_psychology @UM_SRC @MiCDA_UMISR @um_midas: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New 📰 shows that using Census Tract vs. ZCTA-level SDOH changed the salient features in a predictive model for avoidable hospitalizations Also,⬆️ granular features = ⬇️ risk attributed to demo features (i.e., race) authors.elsevier.com/a/1h1f9-CmUzezx @HilltopInstitut @morghend @dillonm

So much health data is done at the zip-level, but this is problematic. ZCTAs geographies aren't zips. Using tracts CHANGED "which SDOH are selected as potential reasons for risk and their relative risk attributed to demographic variables." cc @LeighGoetschius @HilltopInstitut

.@allysonfelix—the most decorated American track and field athlete in Olympic history—considers motherhood the most special job she’s ever had. She wants all who give birth to have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. rwjf.ws/3n8pIXr #BlackMaternalHealthWeek

New @PCORI-supported effort examines how doula care programs in Medicaid can improve #postpartum #maternal outcomes for populations experiencing #healthdisparities by leveraging research infrastructure of Medicaid Outcomes Distributed Research Network: academyhealth.org/blog/2023-03/n…

The U.S. is a risky place to give birth – even more so when you are a Black woman. Systemic racism is at the root of this crisis and the sooner we acknowledge it, the sooner we can do the work to dismantle it. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

1/5. At today's @UM_PSC Brown Bag and @umisr Inclusive Research Matters seminar, @ProfDiemer @RCGD_ISR spoke on Critical Quantitative Methods. Despite their racist, eugenicist history, he argued quant methods can be used to achieve anti-racist, equity-oriented objectives.

The #HEADSSeminar on November 16 at noon ET will feature Ian Stockwell, PhD, @umbcinfosystems faculty and @LeighGoetschius, PhD, @HilltopInstitut member discussing “Applied Predictive Modeling for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias.” DM us for Zoom registration information!

Hey, I know this guy! #newprofessorintown. I will be recruiting graduate students and RAs this application cycle, please share and reach out if you are interested! @UMN_ICD

@RebeccaAMarks @daniellelabotka @irismwang @toddological @adkinsty_ @adriennedwoods I would love to be part of that!

I recently heard a PhD student ask a professor if industry was a feasible alternative to pursuing TT jobs. The prof's answer was essentially "I don't think so? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

Our replication & multiverse extension of an ABCD study is now available. In the multiverse, we consider how diff operationalizations of variables used to numerically represent the family environment & pubertal dev may impact brain-beh interpretations. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New: Due to the requirement that states maintain continuous enrollment in Medicaid during the public health emergency in exchange for extra federal funding, enrollment is now up by 17.7 million. Over one in four Americans are enrolled in Medicaid. kff.org/coronavirus-co…

Outstanding flash talk by @FelHardi on childhood household instability, adolescent structural connectome, and young adult mental health. Poster tonight at 6:30. #Flux2022
